Episode 434: Learning New Lore with Kitzy

Mac Admins Podcast ·

2025/10/28

Working at the same place for a long time can have some amazing benefits. Every conversation, meeting, or ticket solved is another person you met, another piece of knowledge you have that you didn't have before and another piece of the huge puzzle that is slowly getting assembled inside your brain. Institutional knowledge can be an amazing thing, and we all love that person we work with who seems to have been there right from the beginning and just.knows.stuff. But does having too many puzzle pieces

Whatever challenge you’re facing, chances are there’s already a project, or a group of passionate people, tackling something similar. But with so many options, the path forward isn’t always clear. Do you adopt an existing open source tool? Invest in a polished, commercial solution? Or roll up your sleeves and build something totally new

2025/08/05

Macs are safe - they don’t get malware. We used to hear this all the time and whilst Apple has done a wonderful job of building a secure by design operating system, there are still threats out there we need to protect ourselves against. It’s also no surprise that macOS is not Windows. And it’s further and further away from behaving like UNIX these days. So how do we know what to look for, and where to even go looking for it? Jaron Bradley from Jamf Threat Labs joins us to talk about his new book:

2025/07/15

What does it mean to be a Mac Admin in the year of jobs 2025? Long gone are the days of having to explain that no, that isn’t something that macs can integrate with. Instead we have all had to become experts in so many different silos within the modern IT organisation, from Identity, Security, Networking and Certificates. Being able to embrace and understand these concepts has also led to opportunities in career growth. Gone are the days where hoping for a small windowless room and the opportunity

We have all enjoyed seeing Apple make the noticeable shift to embracing modern cloud identity with the integrations we have seen over the past few years. From modern authentication at enrollment, Single Sign on extensions through to Federation of Managed Apple accounts and Platform Single Sign-on. The announcements at WWDC this year gave us more reasons to be excited, with a whole bunch of new capabilities announced. What does this really mean and can I start using this in production tomorrow
